Reed Filibuster

n. The stalling of legislation in Congress by means of obstructing members of Congress from doing their jobs by going to their offices and requesting a picture with them to put on Facebook.

James tried pulling a Reed Filibuster on the Hill... I hope this doesn't stall any important legislation, but it probably will. AT least he has a cool profile pic on Facebook.

Technology Budget Filibuster

The business tactic of stalling and forcing technology engineers to provide redundant documentation and plans in the hopes of dragging the project out so it will not have to be funded despite already being approved.

"Could you please provide a more detailed project plan" asked Freddy

"How much more detailed can it get? Are you are not pulling a technology budget filibuster on me?" responded Richard

"You caught me Ralph...they are trying not to fund this project this year even though it was approved" admitted Freddy.
